fontconfig.properties broken for chinese fonts

[Larry]

Font file names need to be updated to point to the proper arphic chinese font files. The result is that java applications are unable to display certain chinese characters and instead display squares.

The uming font file ends in .ttc not .ttf. The above patch should fix the bug.

any chance of this getting this in to 8.04 LTS? bug breaks java for 1.4+ billion users

[James Stansell (jamesstansell)]

Was this fixed by a recent change in the openjdk-6 package?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package sun-java6 - 6-06-0ubuntu1

still seeing wrong file path in fontconfig.properties in version 6-15-1:

filename.-arphic-ar_pl_shanheisun_uni-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/uming.ttf
filename.-arphic-ar_pl_uming_uni-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/arphic/uming.ttf

where uming.ttf should be uming.ttc.
